Isner and Fish into Atlanta final.
by bahamaderek on Jul.25, 2010, under John Isner, Mardy Fish
Mardy Fish ended the hopes of top seed Andy Roddick to reach the final of the Atlanta Tennis Championships.
The all-American encounter appeared to be a foregone conclusion with Roddick riding on the back of a nine-match winning streak against Fish, but the sixth seed had other ideas as he posted a convincing 7-6 (7/5) 6-3 triumph.
Second seed John Isner awaits Fish in the final after the giant American saw off the challenge of plucky South African Kevin Anderson.
In a match played in punishing heat – on-court temperatures reached 140 degrees Fahrenheit – it was Isner who prevailed in the gruelling clash, 6-3 6-7 (7/9) 6-3.
